One end of the supporting bar a The object of the invention is to produce may be suitably shaped to form a handle or a holder of the above kind which is more have a handle grip a fitted to it.

A relative its thin edge directed away from the handle" movement may also take place between the end of the bar, the wedge being shaped to 90 parts of the gripping device. co-operate with both the sleeve and the bar. 40 The invention will be described with ref- In order to make the strip taut when the erence to the accompanying drawings, in parts are thusassembled, the sleeve is held which different forms of the improved holdstationary and a blow or a push is imparted er are illustrated. to the handle end 'of the supporting bar to 95 Fig. l in the drawings is a side elevation cause a slight relativeinovement between the of the holder in one of its simplest forms. parts, thereby stretching the strip. For the Fig. 2 is an elevation representing a modibetter holding of the sleeve this may be profied arrangement of the holder and gripping vided with wings or projections device. Then the sleeve and wedge are assembled 100 Fig. 3 is a side elevation of a metal supon the bar as in Fig. 6, that is to say, with porting bar that is bent between its ends to the wedge pointing in a direction reverse to permit one external face of the sleeveto be that shown in Fig. 1, then, in such case, in flush with or recessed with respect to that order to make the strip taut, the wedge and not the sleeve is held while a blow is imparted to the handle end.

The wedge piece d in Fig. 2, is shown as extending rearwardly and shaped to constitute a hand grip in place of `the separate hand grip ar, as shown in Fig. l.

It is more economical to use a strip of sutlicient length to cover the greater-portion of the top and bottom faces of the support, but if a strip of such length be not available, then instead of the strip overlying two faces of the supportinglb'ar, itmay be arranged to overlie one face only, one end of the strip vbeing ,grippedl by y the -sleeve c kwhile the other end may beinserted in ,a V shaped groove 7iv provided for theV purpose in thel end of the bar aand-be. wedged thereinby meansgofawedge piece as `indicated in* Fig. 7.

Alternatively, the sleeve maybeasplit one, Y

as shown in Fig, 5.

Vhcnv thebara isofimetalthe bar may be bent between its ends, as shown `for eX- ampl e,i1r-Fig.; 3, to` allowthe one face of theL sleeve applied to the portion of the bar nearer the-handle end to, beA iush with theA face of the-.portion of ythe-bar further from;

the handle.

Thesupport for thev abrasive or absorbent strip may be,V formed as shown inrFig. 4f.

without a handle` portion,lfor useV in carpentryY operations. In this Acase thebar would be made considerablywider and ofA greater depth than in the examples described above, and alpad 7c of felt-or other appropriate material may be interposedbetween the-bar and.v the stripj).v One endof the supporting* bar @would be reduced in thickness, and also, ifdesired, in width, .to

accommodate the sleeve and associated `grip-` pingv means. v

I-Iavinggthusdescribed the nature of the said invention and the best means I know of carrying the same into practical effect, I claim l. An abrasive or absorbent strip holder of the character specified, comprising in combination a bar forming a support for a strip folded transversely near the center of its length over one end of the bar, a sleeve member having a tapering bore and adapted to be slid along the bar, said sleeve member being arranged to encompass the bar and .the two ends of the strip at opposite sides of the bar, and a correspondingly tapered wedgemember inserted within saidbore and capable of longitudinal sliding'kniovement.relatively to the sleeve member forthe-purpose of clamping the ends of the strip to the bar, one of said members being,- manually. adjustable with respect to the harto render the strip taut. n

Zaan abrasive orfabsorbent strip holder of the character specified, comprising in` combination a bar -having a recessed part andpforming-a support for a strip folded transversely near the center of its length over one end of the bar, a sleeve piece having a tapering bore and adaptedto be slid along the bar, said sleeve piecebeing arrangedgrto encompass the recessed part of the bar and the two ends of the-strip located Vat vopposite sides of the bar, and a correspondingly tapered wedge inserted within, said bore and capable of a longitudinal.

slidingniovement with relation to thesleeve for thepurpose of securing the said ends of the stripto the bar, the said sleeve piece andvwedge. beingmanually adjustable as a whole with respect to the. bar to render the strip taut. A
